Welcome from the

Principal

A warm welcome to Templepatrick Primary School and Nursery Unit.

We hope that our website not only gives you the information that you need, but also a flavour of the caring, friendly atmosphere that I experience every day.

It is a privilege to see our pupils thrive and grow into healthy, well mannered and well educated young people.

We value every child and aim to give every pupil the opportunity to experience success in all areas of development.

Our school ethos is built on Christian values, a school founded to provide high quality education for children of all faiths and none.

We set high expectations for all of our pupils, always wanting each pupil to reach their potential.  

But our expectations can only be fulfilled if we work effectively in partnership, with you, the parents.

Together we can make Primary School a rewarding experience for your child and to be some of the happiest times in your child’s life.

Our committed team of teachers and assistants provide a safe and friendly environment in which our children are able to grow in confidence, to learn and to develop their talents and abilities in preparation for tomorrow’s world and their future in it.

We welcome you to join us on our journey to becoming an Outstanding school right at the heart of its community.

Mr Dunlop
